parents who heard of it Snatched their
girls away as from a conf1agratiOn.
The chief characteristic and principal
new feature in the winter millinery are
the low crowns and wide. broad brims.
IurbanS, felt bOnnetS, felt hats and silk
beavers are largely worn, many stylish
and attractive novelties in felts show
beaver brimS and others in fanciful
braidings. bonnets and turbans of cloth
matching the costume will be favored
for ordinary wear. These are stylish
and coquettish. They are simply made
OF folds pointed on the edge, and the
hat IS trimmed with cluster of ribbon
OF wings grouped closely together.
IN MILLINERY
small hats hold the vantage ground.
Sailor shapes, with the brim short at
the back and rolled in front, are shown
in velvet with the trimming massed at
the back. Wide ribbons are used to
trim the sailor hats, and this soft,
bunchy trimming is decidedly pretty in
effect. Ribbons of faille, with a satin
edge, and sometimes with gold or cop
per edge, are used for these clusters.
Rich shades of garnet are used with
sage green. EmbrOiderieS in the two
cOlors, mingled with threads of tinSel,
trim these hats, with feathers of green
tipped with garnet or fiecked with gar
net. Birds and fiat wings are used on
many of the pew bOnnetS. English
bOnnets appear low when not on the
head, but the trimmings, though in Sc
we're outline, are so maSSed that the
bonnet is quite high when worn, yet
never extreme in height, like the bon
nets Of last winter. Pale blueish green
velvet bonnets in gas-light cOlors
are shown for opera wear. They
are simply trimmed with feathers
In the same color and with ornaments
formed of small pins or combs of Rhine
stones. All bonnets and hats are worn
further back than they have been.
The new French laces, which will be
used to some extent on millinery, are
SO perfect in their stimulation of old
Chantilly that they can only be known
from the real by the touch, not by the
eye. The details of the irregular mesh
and figure of the handmade lace are
carefully reproduced in the machine
made fabric.
Among the most attractive of the
head dresses now shown are the tur-
bans. These in the dipping of the brim
over the forehead trench boldly upon
the tOquet in shape; while in the
drapery effects, in which the material
of which they are made is employed,
they carry out very nearly the idea of
thesturban as it originally appears in
the Turkish costume, the material be-
ing wound around the frame in artistic
folds that have character of their own,
and
NOT DEPENDENT
upon finish or trimmings. A model in

upon the frame so as to be quite in front
willie sustaining the folds of the drap-
cry are a couple of wings dyed to match
the celOrS in velvet: and second model
in plain velvet, in old mahogany color
a dark reddish browns finished with
a pair of black quill feathers thrust dag
onally through the folds in front.
The crowns of the round hats are low
and square, with the trimmings being
massed directly at the back or at the
side. However. many are turned up in
front. Aigrettes are still used to heigh-
ten these effects of low crowns. Orna-
ments for hats. particularly those of
English make, are shown in steel dag
gers, large buckles and in numerous
other shapes and forms. Brims of vel
vet especially are stylish, being edged
with the metallic plated wire of the ir-
descent tone: Varying the turbans
made wholly of the velvet,
or of plush effectively, there
are models with the brims formed of
feather-faced cloth, this overlapping
drapery of velvet over the top of the
crown. the velvet arranged in the regu-
latiOn high effect at the front, supple
mented by pair of wings, or some
kind of feather mOnture sustained by
the split head of the bird. Other models
show a large wing on each side of the
crown. with the velvet or plush so
applied as to form self-trimming at the
